My state pushed legislation to require it in 2008. My county's response was to include it in the final 2 weeks of sophomore government class (what I teach). We're actually in the middle of it right now. Not nearly enough time and not when it should be taken.
We have a really awesome math elective that's a full year course on it, but our county refuses to allow it to count as a math credit and forces students to take algebra II (you have to pass 3 math classes and sit for a 3rd, and our county requires that you take Algebra II before any other math classes). It never runs anymore. When it did, we had a ton of seniors in it and students with disabilities from our life skills, non diploma track.
